Chapter 73

Gu Yuan finally came to the Imperial Study Room.

I saw the old emperor who had been on the throne for three years in 780.

Because he failed to break into the sixth realm, he has shown his age.

Like all the aging old people in the world, his hair is gray, his face is full of wrinkles, his eyes are so heavy that they have droopy bags, and there are extremely obvious age spots near the corners of his eyes.

But what is different from other old people is that even though his eyes are cloudy, the light in his eyes is extremely bright, brighter than the lights dancing on both sides of the study, even like a sword, which makes Gu Yuan feel a little scared inside. .

At this time, Gu Yuan finally understood why Qin Wuyang, who dared to kill people at the age of 13, was so frightened that he trembled after seeing the First Emperor.

Those who occupy a high position will develop an aura over time.

This aura is different from the monk's spiritual pressure, which is to generate external pressure on people through the resonance of the spiritual power in the body and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The aura of the superior is to directly exert pressure on the inner soul of the person.

Just like the old emperor Zhao Zheng who has been sitting on the dragon throne for 780 and three years.

He only looked at Gu Yuan calmly in the half-darkness, which made Gu Yuan feel terrified.

"Gu Yuan, a common man, comes to see Your Majesty."

Gu Yuan was about to salute, but Zhao Zheng waved his hand.

Immediately, an invisible force supported Gu Yuan.

"Gu Qing doesn't need to be too polite."

Zhao Zheng smiled kindly:

"Gu Qing is Pei Qing's husband and Li Qing's junior brother. His writings are even more talented. He is worthy of being a unicorn in the sky. I grant Gu Qing special privileges. From now on, I will show that I will not kneel down."

Gu Yuan knew that the old emperor would definitely show his kindness, but he didn't expect that the old emperor would give him special privileges as soon as he came up.

In Cang Kingdom, only the top ten nobles and the heads of the seven great families have the privilege of not kneeling before the emperor.

How much the old emperor attaches importance to himself...

It was much higher than expected.

"Gu Qing, I have read this article of yours several times. Although you have great talent and great ideas, I still feel that it is not fully understood. I wonder if I feel wrong or if Gu Qing is hiding something?"

Gu Yuan laughed heartily.

Although he knew that privileges were not given in vain, the old emperor was too impatient!

"Your Majesty's feeling is certainly correct, but the common people have never thought of hiding it."

Gu Yuan responded calmly:

"The article written by Cao Minwen Kao put forward five suggestions for governing the country. It is not that I only thought of five suggestions, but that I only had time to write down five suggestions.

At that time, all the candidates handed in their papers, and only Cao Min was still writing. Cao Min couldn't bear to wait for all the candidates, so he hurriedly concluded after writing five suggestions, and hoped that His Majesty would forgive him. "

The old emperor laughed, very satisfied with Gu Yuan's answer:

"That being the case, could Gu Qing tell me the rest of his suggestions for governing the country?"

Everything was within Gu Yuan's expectation, Gu Yuan pretended to be entangled:
"Caomin still has four suggestions, but these four suggestions...Caomin don't dare to say it."

How could the old emperor not see Gu Yuan's thoughts and said with a smile:

"If the suggestions put forward by Gu Qing can really make our Cang country stronger and stronger, Gu Qing will be the lucky star of our Cang country. Anyone who dares to lay a finger on Gu Qing will be killed immediately!"

Gu Yuan continued to act, and after some moderate chatting with the old emperor, he said:

"The grassroots people have four suggestions left, namely:
First, to train education officials, education must be put into practice, and the imperial examination must become the real way for the people to reach heaven.

Second, increase the punishment for corrupt officials. As the saying goes, severe punishments and generous rewards, if punishments are not strict, there will be no law.

Third, paying attention to the people and re-examining unjust, false and wrong cases not only appeases the people, but also further strengthens the rule of law.

Fourth, rectify false claims, corruption and waste, and commend those who are financially restrained and rich in the country and the people. "

The old emperor listened very carefully, although the four suggestions made by Gu Yuan were the same as the five suggestions in the article.

However, if you think about it more deeply, these four suggestions will actually offend many interest groups. Gu Yuan dared to make these four suggestions, so it is no wonder that he was asked to protect him just now.

The most important thing is that the five suggestions in Gu Yuan's article all give corresponding rules and regulations.

If there is no accident, the four suggestions that Gu Yuan just mentioned will also give corresponding solutions.

This is also the real expectation of the old emperor.

After all, anyone who has some knowledge and courage can suggest this kind of thing and dare to mention it.

But if we only make suggestions without providing solutions, then what’s the use of giving more suggestions?

"As for the four suggestions just mentioned, ordinary people also have some ideas..."

Gu Yuan indeed gave a related solution.

During the literary test, Gu Yuan had already thought about it very well.

In addition, there was Zhao Bingzhong's number one scholar paper to copy, and Gu Yuan polished it up again, and the words were so hypnotic that the old emperor was taken aback for a while.

In fact, the old emperor valued Gu Yuan too much and took the initiative to hand over the initiative of the conversation to Gu Yuan, allowing Gu Yuan to control the rhythm of the conversation.

Otherwise, the old emperor would have quickly realized that although Gu Yuan was eloquent and eloquent, in summary, he was just punishing and rewarding in accordance with the law.

Of course, the relevant legal provisions proposed by Gu Yuan are still very valuable and forward-looking. After all, the legalists in this world have not yet been perfected, and the world before Gu Yuan traveled, the rule of law has developed for thousands of years.

So not only the old emperor was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but Li Fa, who was waiting beside him with his hands down, could also hear his eyes shining sometimes, frowning in deep thought, and being ecstatic at other times.

When Gu Yuan finished speaking, his mouth went dry, but he also made the old emperor and Li Fa praise him repeatedly.

The old emperor, in particular, was so excited that he clap his hands and stared at Gu Yuan with his eyes, as if he had seen the future of Cang Kingdom.

"Gu Qing, great talent, great talent!"

The old emperor patted Gu Yuan on the shoulder. He had not been so excited for a long time.

Even if Pei Qianxue broke through ninety-eight thousand armors with one sword that day, and the news of the seven cities of Yu Kingdom was sent back to the palace, he was not as excited as he is now.

Why?Because he has passed the age when he is full of energy and just wants to expand his territory.

He increasingly felt that it was difficult to open up new territories and expand territory, but even more difficult to govern a country and make it prosperous.

A good general is easy to come by, but a great countryman like Gu Yuan is hard to come by!

"Gu Qing, you have good ideas and are good at making laws. How about... I make you a court captain?"

When the old emperor saw the articles written by Gu Yuan in the literary examination, he had the idea of ​​​​letting Gu Yuan serve as a court lieutenant. Now he is completely sure that Gu Yuan is completely qualified for the post of court lieutenant. Even... the post of court lieutenant must be Gu Yuan. belongs!

"Tingwei?!"

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

There are three lords and nine ministers in the Cang Kingdom, and Ting Wei is one of the nine ministers.

The responsibilities of the Tingwei are to be responsible for judicial trials. They can amend laws and regulations, manage prisons, arrest, try and imprison princes and nobles.

If the old emperor really wanted to vigorously promote the legal system, the responsibilities and powers of the Tingwei would almost be ranked first among the nine ministers!
From a commoner to a second-rank official residence, ranked among the nine ministers, overlooking the vastness of a country...

Although Gu Yuan was mentally prepared, he still felt a little dreamy.

But this is not a dream or a hallucination, but something that actually happened!

What does it mean to reach the sky in one step, Gu Yuan probably counts it as reaching the sky in one step!

Gu Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing Gu Yuan smile, the old emperor smiled even more happily.

Seeing the old emperor smiling even happier, Gu Yuan not only smiled on his face, but also in his heart.

 Thanks to Zuimeng Huasantian Xiaoyi for the reward, thank you boss
